EK-2-25-R - Weldcraft EK-2-25-R 25ft Rubber TIG Extension Kit for 9/17 Series

Genuine Weldcraft EK-2-25-R TIG Torch Extension Kit

The Weldcraft EK-2-25-R is a premium extension kit designed to increase the versatility of your air-cooled TIG welding setup. Manufactured by Miller Weldcraft, this kit provides an additional 25 feet (7.6 meters) of length to standard one-piece power cables, effectively doubling or tripling the reach of many standard torch packages. It is specifically engineered for use with 9 Series and 17 Series air-cooled TIG torches, providing a reliable solution for welders who need to operate at a distance from their power source.

Technical Specifications and Build Quality

At the core of this kit is a durable rubber power cable and gas hose. Rubber is the material of choice for professional TIG applications due to its exceptional flexibility and resistance to environmental factors. Unlike vinyl, which can retain memory and coil awkwardly, rubber lays flat and maneuvers easily, reducing operator fatigue during long welds. The cable is rated to handle the amperage capacities associated with 9 and 17 series torches, ensuring consistent power delivery to the tungsten.

Complete Installation Kit

The EK-2-25-R is a comprehensive solution that includes all necessary hardware for immediate installation. The kit contains:

• 25 ft. Rubber Power Cable: The primary extension element, carrying both shielding gas and welding current.
• Power Cable Coupler: A high-conductivity brass coupler designed to connect the extension cable to your existing torch cable securely.
• Fitting Cover: A protective boot that slides over the coupler connection, insulating it from contact with the work surface or operator to prevent electrical shorts and ensure safety.

Application and Usage

This extension kit is ideal for automotive restoration, field repair, and large-scale fabrication where the welding machine cannot be easily moved. By extending the reach of the torch, operators can access hard-to-reach joints on vehicle chassis, large tanks, or structural beams. The secure connection provided by the included coupler ensures that shielding gas flow remains laminar and leak-free, preserving weld quality even over the extended distance. Trust in Genuine Weldcraft parts to maintain the performance and safety of your TIG welding operations.
